Veneering used to refer only to surfacing boards with wood veneers and the technique has been used since the days of the ancient Egyptians. (A primitive veneered casket was found in the tomb of Tutenkhamen). However, in modern usage the term now describes the surfacing of panels with a much wider range of materials including not only wood veneers but also decorative laminates and thermo‐plastics and paper foils. Paper‐based foils, in particular, are being constantly improved so that the colouring, and even the texture, of wood veneers can now be reproduced with great accuracy.
